A Huge Infrared Telescope Has Observed a Zone We've Never Been Able to See Into Before | VISTA

ESO's VISTA telescope has pierced through cosmic dust to reveal 1.5 billion objects hidden by our galaxy’s dust. This unprecedented infrared survey unveils what visible light cannot show us - newborn stars, ancient stellar fossils, and distant galaxies previously cloaked in darkness. Join us as we explore these remarkable images that have lifted the veil on the Milky Way's secret architecture, forever changing our understanding of our cosmic home.
